Present choral singing at the highest level & opportunities for those with a passion for singing
Sydney Philharmonia Choirs presents the art of choral singing at the highest standard, and develops the talents of those with a passion for singing, in Sydney and beyond. Founded in 1920, it has become Australia’s finest choral organisation and is a Resident Company of the Sydney Opera House.
Led by Artistic and Music Director Brett Weymark OAM and Associate Music Director Dr Elizabeth Scott, Sydney Philharmonia Choirs comprises three auditioned and three community choirs that perform repertoire from choral classics to musical theatre and commissions by Australian composers. SPC presents its own annual concert season as well as collaborating with leading conductors, soloists and orchestras in Australia and overseas. The choirs perform in the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s season every year, as they have done for more than 80 years. SPC also presents community singing events throughout the year – ChorusOz and singing workshops throughout Sydney and NSW.
Since 2006, ChorusOz has drawn singers of every ability from across Australia and the globe to the Sydney Opera House to rehearse and perform a major choral work (sometimes for the first time in their life) with professional singers and musicians and a live audience, an experience which has been described as inspiring and transformational.
2020 was Sydney Philharmonia Choirs’ centenary and saw the realisation of an inspiring commissioning project – 100 Minutes of New Australian Music – featuring works by composers including Elena Kats-Chernin, Deborah Cheetham Fraillon and Brett Dean. In 2023, Brett Weymark celebrated his 20th anniversary as Artistic Director.
For over 30 years, SPC's offices and rehearsal studio has been located at Walsh Bay.
